However, not all buyers will want a new costly agreement with their carriers and will instead look to buy an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus model for full price – luckily for them, Apple has already listed off-contract prices for the devices on its website.

What’s notable is that Apple has kept in place its pricing structure, despite changing storage options and increasing screen size. Last year, the three iPhone 5s versions were priced exactly as the iPhone 6’s three models, although the 2013 device came only in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB options.

Strangely though, Apple decided to remove the 32GB model from its iPhone 6 lineup, rather than the 16GB version, which means the off-contract 16GB iPhone 6 has the same price as its predecessor. However, the 64GB and 128GB iPhone 6 models are cheaper than their respective iPhone 5s versions.

Apple is still keeping in place two, cheaper, iPhone 5s models, including 16GB ($99 or $549) and 32GB ($149 or $599) versions. Meanwhile, the cheapest iPhone money can buy (at least from Apple) is the iPhone 5c, available only in an 8GB version, which costs $0 with new contracts or $450 full price.
